Somehow, Trent Reznor screaming about his most animalistic urges was as much a fixture of MTV as Ace of Base and Celine Dion, announcing the arrival of the mall-goth era in the mainstream.

It was the antithesis of the biting, gnarled grunge movement: A fuzz-rock anthem that would come to define a new era of youth that seemed perfectly content to be wallflowers… angsty, awkward, disaffected and restless ones, sure, but wallflowers nonetheless. Every element is flawlessly placed, from soaring strings to Shara Nelson’s effortlessly powerful vocals to the wistful percussive bells that introduce the track – still capable of sending shivers down a few spines. Neither was truly a stranger to the public: Dre had already shaken the rap world — and the nerves of white America — as a member of NWA, and Snoop’s actual-factual debut occurred months earlier on the soundtrack to the movie Deep Cover .

Because for a short period Noel Gallagher’s smash-’n’-grab raid on the ’60s pop canon yielded magnificent results.Released on his Relief Records imprint in 1995, the sheer influence of Green Velvet's 'Flash' can be best understood by looking at the immense number of underground icons who have remixed the song. there are only a couple of duffers on it as there are with any compilation album but overall an excellent collection of music that sent me back to the days when I first started going clubbing. They ended the decade recording the ultra-moody, minimal, esoteric electronic tracks that would end up on Kid A.

The Beasties spent the decade between 1989 and 1999 in a constant state of reinvention, but ‘Ill Communication’ bridged the gap between ‘Check Your Head’s punk/jazz/hip-hop and paved the way for mainstream dominance.

Long before he was palling around with Martha Stewart, Snoop was making waves by nearly stealing Dr. It's a track that turns revelers into a linked unit of hedonistic behavior and drives the memories you bring home with you that night.

On the cover of this 1995 remix 12" of Sarah McLachlan's 'Possession' by the diverse Tampa-based electronic outfit Rabbit in the Moon, the group used a quote from Mixmag Update which reads "Truly inspired.
